I do have questions though; reading the code it seems that: 1) 'usb_id' is always NULL, so 'MatchUSBID' directive in xorg.conf won't work; 2) 'vendor' and 'product' will be determined from 'dev.x.x.%desc' sysctl by splitting on the first space, so for example my USB tablet, which has %desc equal to "WALTOP International Corp. Slim Tablet" will have vendor "WALTOP" and product "International Corp. Slim Tablet" -- so those are the strings I should use in 'MatchVendor' and 'MatchProduct'; 3) if 'devd' is restarted while Xorg is running, further hardware changes will not be reported to Xorg. Can you confirm I'm reading this right? If so, are there any plans to improving these points?
